Someone might have already said this, but if you stick a plastic medical glove over the opening of a bassoon, then play, the hand inflates and waves at the croud. In Jr High, we did funny concerts for the gradeschoolers, and I liked doing that. And everyone knows how the bassoon bell sticks up a little above the rest of the band, so eeeveryone can see it waving! xd
(For a Romeo and Juliet skit, we had one of the musicians in the scene where they all think Juliet's dead be an extreme triangalist.)

My conductor was conducting with a drumstick during a SHOW. And it slipped.. and flew into the crowd.
And me and my friend put the trombone mouthpiece in a saxophone.
It sounded cool.

Theres only 6 flutes in our 7A band and we connect the headjoint of your flute to the other persons footjoint and try to play. We also have swordfights and we twirl them around too.

BlueInkPen I remember the time I put my headjoint straight on my footjoint (no body). You can make 10 out-of-tune notes like that if you have a B footjoint! wink My friends and I would do this all the time when we were bored before class or during free time.

-Push in or pull out the tuning slide so far for the trombone that the whole section cringes.
-Literally made a centrifuge with the trombone (my section leader was screwing around with it). The BD made a long staring contest before restarting that 4 beat count before every song.
-Made a half a minute tremelo with the trombone slide to annoy all surrounding sections,
-Took tuba island and renamed it trombone island (this section of chairs. Tubas are mad at us for conquering it ^_^)
-Someone played a piano section with a fortississimo sforzando and made the whole band stare at them. They were alto sax.
-I hammered out a slide dent with a pair of toenail clippers... Worked better than *before* the dent happened.
-Slide fell off and continued playing.
-Tubas playing Follow the Leader in between
ULTIMATE:
We didn't listen to our band director and we got punished with Simon Says...

Let's see.
Two idiot flute players (both guys), going around pretending their flutes are guns and shooting people in the head while saying, "BOOM! Headshot!"
Pretending my sax was a rocket-launcher.
Pretending my sax was a club to beat up someone with.

One of the trumpetists in the garden state philharmonic, threw his trumpet in the air , to see how many times he could clap, before catching it. rolleyes Well, he droped the trumpet on the ground, and it broke. Everyone hated him anyway, so we didn't care! mrgreen

OOH! Best game ever for trumpet players right here. We used to play it during sectionals at band camp when we were supposedly practicing.
1. Sit in a circle or semi-circle with your bells up.
2. Put a pencil on a stand in the middle of the circle.
3. Spin the stand, and the pencil will fly off (and hopefully hit someone).
Hit a person - 5 points
Hit the section leader - 10 pts
Hit a visiting drum major - 15 pts
Hit someone's horn - 20 pts
Goes in someone's bell - 30 pts
Gets stuck in someone's bell - 50 pts
If you have to take the horn to the director to get the pencil out - 1000000 pts (YOU WIN) heart

For bari saxists, or anyone with a large enough bell, but I've only tried it on bari sax:
Get your friend to stick there arm down your bell while you're playing. It sounds funny. xD

During Korean Hill Song (a soft lullaby) on of the trombonists put that ball like thing (you know, the thing for getting spit out) and blew it hard out of her trombone.
The flutes mostly don't like eachother, and we're really sperated with the bad ones on the left and the good ones on the left. Sort of like being ranked in chairs, 'cept not, because Hannah and I are both better than Katie -- anyhow, the good flutes really don't want to be mean to their instruments. Or maybe it's just we're not comfortable enough with each other. Although, I did stick my flute (head joint first) at Katie's neck like a sword - and she pulled my head joint off and took it D= Then she did the same with hers later, only foot joint first, and I took her footjoint.

Alot of the time in the horn section, when we want to have our private converstations, we touch the instruments bell to bell and communicate through our moutpeices.
Through boredome I've conquered the art of playing sax without the mouthpeice. (Sticking it inside your lips and buzzing on the inside) I can play heck of an "Amazing Grace!"
Sticking a clarinet mouthpeice on a trombone! Makes this mortocycle noise, you can make it sound like a driveby with the slide!

Kreamkaiser Durza the Shade Plunger Man What I do sometimes with my bassoon is act like it's some sort of... Flame-thrower or bazooka. It's hilarious because everyone like "hides" under their chairs or something. Oh, yeah, I'll sometimes pretend my clarinet is a rifle, or rocket launcher, depending on which end is pointed forward. I used to swing it like a lightsaber, too, but stopped after it came apart and one of the keys was bent. That was a long time ago . . . People at my school do that too. By friend holds/plays her bass clarinet like a guitar. Me and my friend ivy hold our saxophones like banjos and strum the keys looking like hilbillies (were from arkansas ya'll XD, no seriously)
